..too bad you cannot beat the NSX's 46in. height as to the Zx6's 50in.
Don't forget that the NSX is MR. So it will have very different characteristics to a FR car, even with a similar Power/Weight.

WHAT! WHY?



I am pretty disappointed in my second used car purchase. I should have waited longer but I forgot to have patience and tried too much to depend on my dad for car advice. I have good instincts and, like a fool, I ignored them.

True dat, but I believe the lower CoG can counter that?

It certainly helps, but the NSX inherently has more weight over the driven wheels. Since it's shorter, its CoG could be close, but not likely since most MR layouts have the engine mounted fairly high in the chassis.

Last week Monday, I jogged a mile & took me 21 mins (yes, you can laugh). Today, I jogged a mile & took me 10.30 mins...

Still long way to get it in 7 mins...

Keep it up Ichitaka. You can do it!

I did PT with the ROTC guys for a week and I was surprised how much of a difference it made going from lazy to exercise. Their routine is pretty strict though.
